Online Buyer Lead — First Call

  1. 1Hi {name}, this is {you} with Team Legacy — you asked about {address}. I'm standing by my computer, do you have 60 seconds?
  2. 2Great. Are you hoping to be in a home in the next 30 days, or is this more of a 3-to-6-month plan?
  3. 3And is {address} the style you want, or were you using it to see what your budget gets you?
  4. 4Here's what I'd do next: I'll send you three homes that actually fit, and we'll walk one this week. What's better for you — Thursday evening or Saturday morning?

Why it works: Lead with the property they asked about, ask timeline before money, and always close on two specific times.

Buyer Consultation Opening

  1. 1Before we look at a single house, I want to earn the right to be your agent. Fair?
  2. 2Today we'll cover three things: what you want, what the market will actually give you, and how I get paid so there are no surprises.
  3. 3Most buyers I work with save time because we make the decision criteria before we're emotional about a house.
  4. 4If everything I show you today makes sense, we'll sign the representation agreement and start touring. Sound good?

Why it works: Set the agenda, get micro-agreements, and make the paperwork the natural end of the meeting instead of a surprise.

Buyer Who Wants a Tour With No Commitment

  1. 1I'd love to show it to you. The way I work is simple: I go all-in for my buyers, and my buyers go all-in with me.
  2. 2So let's do a 20-minute consultation first — in person or on Zoom — then I'll open the door to anything you want to see.
  3. 3You'll leave that meeting knowing more about this market than 90% of buyers, whether or not you hire me.

Why it works: Trade access for a consultation. Never lead with the form, lead with the value of the meeting.

Listing AppointmentIntermediateListing Agent

Listing Appointment — Opening & Agenda

  1. 1Thanks for having me. Here's the plan: I'll ask about your goals, walk the home, show you what buyers are doing right now, and then we'll talk price and my plan.
  2. 2At the end I'll ask you a direct question: do you want me to sell it? If the answer is no, I'll shake your hand and we're still friends.
  3. 3First — if this sells at your number in your timeframe, where are you going next?

Why it works: Pre-frame the close at the start, then earn it. Motivation before marketing, marketing before price.

Seller ScriptsIntermediateListing Agent

Price Reduction Conversation

  1. 1We've had {showings} showings and {offers} offers. The market is voting, and it's telling us something specific.
  2. 2Buyers aren't saying the house is wrong — they're saying the price is ahead of the value they see.
  3. 3We have two options: change the price, or change the product. Which one do you want to talk about first?
  4. 4If we adjust to {price} this week, we re-enter the top of buyer searches instead of aging out of them.

Why it works: Bring data, give two choices, and let the seller pick — never argue the number.

FSBOIntermediateListing Agent

FSBO Door Approach

  1. 1Hi, I'm {you} with Team Legacy. I'm not here to list your home today — I'm here because I may have a buyer for it.
  2. 2Are you cooperating with agents who bring a qualified buyer?
  3. 3Perfect. Two quick questions: what's the address doing on showings so far, and what happens if it hasn't sold in 30 days?
  4. 4Can I check back in two weeks? If you're still on the market, I'll bring you the exact list of what buyers said about homes like yours.

Why it works: Show up as a buyer source first. Earn the follow-up appointment, not the listing on visit one.

ExpiredAdvancedListing Agent

Expired Listing Call

  1. 1Hi {name}, I see your home came off the market. Are you still hoping to sell, or are you staying put now?
  2. 2When you interview the next agent, what's the one thing you'll insist they do differently?
  3. 3That's exactly where most listings stall. I'd like 20 minutes to show you the three changes that get a home like yours sold.
  4. 4What's better — tomorrow at 6, or Saturday at 10?

Why it works: Ask what went wrong, then position yourself as the fix. Two-time close every call.

SphereBeginnerAll Agents

Sphere Check-In (No Pitch)

  1. 1Hey {name}, no agenda — you popped in my head today. How's {detail}?
  2. 2Things are busy on my side. I've been helping a few people time their move before rates shift again.
  3. 3By the way, if anyone at {workplace} ever mentions buying or selling, would you keep me in mind?

Why it works: Lead with the relationship, close with a soft ask. 20 of these a day rebuilds a pipeline in 60 days.

Open HouseBeginnerAll Agents

Open House Sign-In & Qualify

  1. 1Welcome in! Go ahead and sign in — the sellers ask me for a list of everyone who walked through.
  2. 2Have you been looking long, or is this your first weekend out?
  3. 3Are you working with an agent already, or handling it yourself so far?
  4. 4If this one isn't it, I have two coming up that never hit the public sites. Want me to text them to you?

Why it works: The sign-in is normal because the seller asked for it. Then qualify with curiosity, not a checklist tone.

Follow-UpBeginnerAll Agents

Open House Follow-Up (Next Day)

  1. 1Hi {name}, {you} from the open house on {street}. Quick question — was the layout close to what you wanted, or too {issue}?
  2. 2I pulled three homes that fix that. Want me to send them?
  3. 3If you'd rather just watch the market for a while, I can set you up on a private search and stay out of your way.

Why it works: Ask one specific question, offer two levels of commitment, and never send a wall of text.

Re-Engaging a Ghosted Lead

  1. 1{name}, should I keep you on my list or take you off? Either answer is totally fine.
  2. 2If you're still thinking about it, here's what changed in {area} since we talked: {market_fact}.
  3. 3Reply 1 to keep getting updates, 2 to pause, 3 if you want to talk this week.

Why it works: Give permission to opt out. The takeaway close revives more dead leads than any drip campaign.

Commission & ValueAdvancedAll Agents

Commission & Value Conversation

  1. 1That's a fair question, and I'd ask it too. My fee is {fee}, and it's negotiable in one direction: what I do for it.
  2. 2Here's what that buys — {marketing}, {negotiation}, {vendor_network} — and here's what it produced for my last {n} sellers.
  3. 3If another agent will do it for less, ask them which of those things they're removing.
  4. 4Would you rather save 1% on the fee, or net 3% more on the sale price?

Why it works: Never defend the number — reframe to net proceeds and show the deliverables the discount removes.

Referral AskBeginnerAll Agents

Referral Ask After Closing

  1. 1Congratulations again. Now that it's done — what was the best part of working together, and what would you change?
  2. 2That helps a lot. Most of my business comes from clients like you instead of ads.
  3. 3Who's the next person in your life likely to move — a coworker, a neighbor, family?
  4. 4Great. Want to introduce us by text right now, or should I reach out and mention you?

Why it works: Ask for feedback first, then for one specific name — never a vague 'send people my way'.

RecruitingAdvancedTeam Leader

Agent Attraction — First Conversation

  1. 1I'm not here to pitch you a brokerage. I'm curious — if nothing changes in 3 years, are you happy with where your business lands?
  2. 2What would have to be true for you to look at another model?
  3. 3Most agents I talk with care about three things: what they keep, what they learn, and what they own long term.
  4. 4Can I show you the 20-minute version of how the eXp model handles all three? If it's not for you, we're still good.

Why it works: Ask about their goals before you talk about the model. Attraction is diagnosis, not presentation.

LeadershipAdvancedTeam Leader

Weekly Accountability Call (Leader → Agent)

  1. 1Numbers first: conversations, appointments set, appointments held, contracts. What are yours this week?
  2. 2Which of those four is the bottleneck? Not the whole business — just the one number.
  3. 3What's your commitment for the next seven days, in a number you'd bet money on?
  4. 4I'll check in Wednesday. What do you need from me to make that number easy?

Why it works: Coach one metric at a time and let the agent name the commitment. Ownership beats assignment.
